After reading this entire thread I went through my reloading bench (located in my attached garage) and made sure there was no loose ammo to be found. My kids are much to small to ever play in there but I don't want to be negligent of even a single bullet. I have also been storing some bulk ammo in under a work bench completely out of sight and not easy to get at. I moved it to a locker that now has a lock on it. Basically I have changed my mind about this subject....
Sorry for reviving this thread. My shotgun has shotshell carriers attached. It is unloaded, trigger locked, and stored in a locked cabinet. Would I be okay if I had shotshells in the carriers? Or would I be hit with careless storage?

P.S. I keep my ammunition in large tool boxes with small locks. I believe this meets the definition of safe storage for the Firearms Act and Criminal Code. Its not ideal though since I am starting to amass more and more ammunition everyday.[/QUOTE]

I'm sorry to resurrect this thread but I'm confused.
I am considering a safe from Canadian Safe Manufacturing and I called the Firearms line to get clarification on ammo storage. They told me that if I want to secure the ammo in my safe, where my firearms are also located I would need to have the ammo locked inside a case or box as well. So ammo locked in a box and the box locked in a safe. I didn't think this was correct but I also wasn't going to argue it either, they should know right?
So, can I store my ammo in my safe or does the ammo need to be locked in a separate case or box in order for it to be in the safe?
No they shouldn't know.
The firearms act is not the law on ammo, never has been never will be. You can store ammo and firearms in the same locked container.
